Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X275SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X275SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 275mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments. Its ISO 6432 mounting interface makes it a compact drop-in for standard mini-cylinder fixtures.

About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X275SCA
Dial in end-of-stroke deceleration with the AirTAC MIC16X275SCA, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built around a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mild washdown resistance. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends absorbs high-speed shock, protecting your payload far better than a fixed rubber bumper. The rear CA pivot cover simplifies clevis mounting, and the integrated piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches.
At the 16 mm bore class, this ISO 6432 interface actuator pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa using its M5×0.8 port and M6x1.0 male rod thread. For vertical moves, the 0.5 MPa thrust yields a safe working load of about 60 N, meaning it lifts roughly 5.1 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The 275 mm stroke falls well within the 500 mm standard limit for this size.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X275SCA Is Used
Light-Part Ejection
Cushions the stroke end when rapidly pushing lightweight molded components out of a press at high cycle rates, minimizing bounce.
Package Deflection
Provides a fast, cushioned stop to divert small cartons on a sorting line without crushing the packaging material.
Lab Sample Handling
Moves delicate medical testing racks smoothly using the stainless build and adjustable end cushions to prevent liquid spills.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X275SCA the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, the smaller bore options drop out of the MIC cushioned family entirely, leaving only the bumper-style MI series. If your payload grows, stepping up to the MIC20X50 class raises the 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N. Choose this 16 mm cushioned model specifically when cycle speeds are high enough that impact noise and shock wear become a concern. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a lock. If you must prevent drift on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Pair the -S magnet option with CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for switching, and utilize the LB, FA, SDB, or TC mounts alongside the CA rear pivot to fit your frame.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check Use correct back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X275SCA FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder features an M5×0.8 port, a 6 mm piston rod, and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. It generates 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke and will not hold a load on air loss; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for holding. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet required for mounting CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic position sensors.
